According to the report, a key growth driver is the need for increased network bandwidth. Growth in the internet bandwidth is fueled by the following factors:

Proliferation of mobile computing devices such as smartphones, tablets, and wearables with new capabilities.

Emergence of disruptive technologies that shift the use of bandwidth by altering the way users access the network.

With the emergence of new mobile telecommunication standards such as 4G and 5G, consumers are opting for higher bandwidth applications and services.

Further, the report states that one challenge that could hamper market growth is deployment issues. Although different mechanisms are employed to deploy fibers based on the geography and earth stratum, deployment issues, especially in existing apartments and condominiums, are the major challenge in the fiber-optic cable market.
